Manchester United vs Feyenoord Betting Tips

Thanks to away defeats, Manchester United find themselves in the 3rd spot of the Group A cluster of UEFA Europa 2016-17, a point behind Fenerbahce and Feyenoord. It’s Feyenoord, the current leaders of the Dutch Eredivisie, the Red Devils will have to take on at Old Trafford for their 2nd leg clash on Thursday. Feyenoord had won the 1st leg 1-0 at Rotterdam back in September.

United will still be without theirs full backs, Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly while Marouane Fellaini, with a calf injury, looks a doubtful starter for Thursday’s clash. Ibrahimovic should definitely be back in the starting XI following his one-match suspension for the Arsenal clash. Along with Martial (who was quite impressive against Arsenal last weekend) United have a potent attacking duo upfront. Henrikh Mkhitaryan seems to be finding his feet after the injury he suffered in his international outing for his country, Armenia. Mourinho is keen to try out the attacking midfielder at Old Trafford come Thursday. Marouane Fellaini is a 50-50 starter for the clash against Feyenoord. The presence of the towering midfielder gives the Red Devil that added advantage in aerial duels. The United starting XI could look somewhat like this David de Gea (goal); Daley Blind, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw; Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Henrikh Mkhitaryan,Antonio Valencia; Anthony Martial, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Manchester United vs Feyenoord Predictions

The Dutch League leaders aren’t very high on confidence at the moment having had a rough couple of weeks at the Eredivisie. Draws against Ajax and Heerenveen and a unnerving 0-1 away loss to minions Go Ahead Eagles last weekend have left Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men shaken. It would be important for Feyenoord to score a win at Old Trafford, for their remaining match will be a difficult one against Table-toppers Fenerbahce at home in Rotterdam.

Thus, given the fact that Manchester United are lions at home and Feyenoord are poor in away games, odds point very much to a win for the hosts.

A win for the Red Devils will ensure that they end up at the top of the table before they move on to play their final and uncomfortable Group match to FC Zorya Luhansk away at Odessa, Ukraine in December.
